Woman Writers

I do believe female writers are different from male writers. But then again i believe all writers are different from each other. This is because each individual writer has there own type of writing style. Granted some are better than others, each different writing is unique and special. I believe this is a good thing because there are different types of readers. I do not believe it matters if the writer is male or female. As long as its a good book i will read it.

Vocab Story

Of all the barrios in San Jose there was one hacienda that stood out from all. It had a palmetto in the front yard with a lasso and a tire hanging off of it. In the house lived a grandee who was a torero in his spare time. He is very antediluvian, in the sense that he is always consistent. For example diurnal, he always goes out to his front porch at 3 o'clock and takes a siesta. He is never late to this. he pretty much keeps to himself, and because of this rumors are around him. Some say he was an ex FBI agent, others say he is a desperado, and others say he is a renegade from another countries government. All in all I believe he's just another run of the mill guy who's just enjoying life after retirement.

They were protesting that only the rich countries get a say and not the smaller ones in the trading affaires. Even though the president says that everyone gets a fair chance and a say in it.
